[boost] string conversion methods

It's only minor:

But boost::filesystem and boost::date_time have string conversion 
methods such as

string()
native_file_string()
to_simple_string()

where as boost::format (and also stringstreams in the STL) have

str()

I don't know about the other libraries?  Is there a standard for this in 
boost or is it up to the libraries?  Should they be commonised?

Cheers
